Unreferenced date December 2009 The term judgment proof is most commonly used in tort law contexts to refer to defendant s or potential defendants who are financially insolvency insolvent . Even if a plaintiff were to secure a legal Judgment law judgment against an insolvent defendant, the defendant s lack of funds would make the satisfaction of that judgment difficult, if not impossible, to secure. In such cases plaintiffs might move for wage garnishment based on the judgment. However, if the debtor is retired or collecting social security or other social welfare this is not possible. Judgment proof is not a defense. If sued, the defendant cannot claim judgment proof as one would other affirmative defense s. Judgment proof instead refers to the inability of the judicial lien holder to obtain satisfaction of their judgment.

A vacated judgment is usually the result of the Legal judgmentjudgment of an appellate court which overturns, reverses, or sets aside the judgment of a lower court. A trial court may have the power under certain circumstances, usually involving fraud or lack of jurisdiction over the parties to a case, to vacate its own judgments. A vacated judgment may free the parties to civil litigation to re litigate the issues subject to the vacated judgment. USA Convictions for some criminal offences in the US can cause those convicted to lose some civil rights which can be restored on vacation of the judgment. Relief from judgment in the United States district court s is governed by Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit noted that a vacated judgment place s the parties in the position of no trial having taken place at all. United States v.

If details of a spent conviction are made public by others with malice, the publisher may be subject to libel damages despite the fact that what is said is true. By contrast, under United States law truth is a complete defense to charges of libel and slander the only form of true statement actionable under U.S. defamation law is public disclosure of private facts , which would be inapplicable here because the existence of the non voided conviction is a matter of public record.

Unreferenced date October 2009 Suspension of judgment is a cognitive process and a rational state of mind in which one withholds judgments, particularly on the drawing of moral or ethical conclusions. The opposite of suspension of judgment is premature judgment , usually shortened to prejudice . Whereas prejudgment involves drawing a conclusion or making a judgment before having the information relevant to such a judgment, suspension of judgment involves waiting for all the facts before making a decision. Suspension of judgment is a cornerstone of good research methodology. Much of the scientific method is designed to encourage the suspension of judgments until observations can be made, tested, and verified through peer review. In socio political situations the suspension of judgment is the cornerstone of a civil society. Rather than prejudging people based on generalizations, preconceptions, or other forms of incomplete information, we should judge individuals only when we have adequate information about that individual. Within philosophy , the suspension of judgment is typically associated with philosophical skepticism skepticism and positivism , but it is not limited to these areas. The 17th century rationalist Ren Descartes , for example, used it as the cornerstone of his epistemology . In a process that he called methodological skepticism , he asserted that in order to gain a solid foundation when building one s system of knowledge and belief, one must first doubt everything. Only by eliminating preconceptions and prejudgments can one come to know what is true.
